Renovation of Peter Foggo and David Thomas' Space House including an upgrade to bathroom and kitchen facilities

Space House has an H-shaped plan comprising a series of braced steel trusses supported from eight stanchion columns, with timber-frame walls, floors and roof slung between, and large areas of plate glass.

Parallel front-to-back steel trusses, divided the plan into three zones, living, servant spaces and bedrooms. The rectangular trusses are braced with diagonal tie rods, expressed externally and internally. Front and back of the house are glazed from floor to ceiling.

External cedar cladding with a heavy build-up of varnish (some boards were water-damaged) have been removed, sanded and recoated so that they keep their panel-like quality. To increase the flow of space, corridor doors have been removed around the service core. Circulation is still a loop, but more legible.
